White used to be fairly quiet on Sky Sports. Possibly because he knew Wedderburn would fill him in.

It's all just a show though isn't it? Sensationalism to get fans stirred up and we lap it up for them. As we as a club never respond publicly, I quess we can only queue up and repeat this. Either that or ignore it. Whilst we continue to be the force to be reckoned with , it's not going to stop. I never listen to it, never will but I can understand those who do - each to their own.

Do you think our multi billion businessmen would lower themselves to respond to a has-been pony failed ex chairman and a brushed up cast off ex alcoholic jockey?

I said it before, that jockey is worst than Jordan, he's just a snide little cretin who's obsessed with recognition.

The irony of it all, they say no one will remember us in 10 years time, and yet all they talk about us everyday of the week

Very weird of the Chairman if that’s true. Very very weird.

There is 115 reasons why Ratcliffe doesn’t think we are cheating then

Definitely 115 reasons not to meet with the piss stained old nonce (allegedly)

The problem with City is we always think “if we’re nice to them then maybe they’ll start being nice to us.” It’s a bit pathetic. Proper battered Mrs stuff

[zuricity]

if and when we go to court . I hope Pannick brings that git from old trafford up to explain why he and the scouse2 Heinie tried to force FFP down the throats of the Premier League teams. something that is not acceptable in normal Market competition.

We’ve got a class midfielder from Yorkshire that’s on loan currently that they might be interested in

Khaldoon is just playing the game imo, you don't get to where he is being a wet wipe......

I've decided that whoever is behind cityXtra they just crave click bait attention, sadly his 'stories' will be regurgitated by more credible sources and then it'll get mentioned on talkshite as being fact 'it's been reported' without naming the source.

They were talking this AM that the bloke from Newcastle had all but accepted an appointment at the rags. I then read on the beeb they have approached him, NOT he's engaged and going....

Can't see being true at all - I get that we have been soft with pundits in the open, but I also don't believe that Arabs are in any way wet wipes in business...

I don’t think anyone has said they are “wet wipes in business” but I also wouldn’t just generalise Arabs as a whole personally, especially in business.

I’m sure the tweets are disingenuous, which is my point that they’re are making out he’s getting fanny flutters off texts from Jim.

Ratboy's true colours shine with propaganda to feed the masses. Shot down by Keane immediately, funny enough.

Think they got this wrong in the Mail :

Their latest victory came on Tuesday night when they beat RB Leipzig 3-1 in the Champions League to take control of their last-16 tie, but Neville has revealed he couldn't bring himself to watch the game.

I find it wierd that three clubs can vote for or against something that they will not be part of next season and may never be involved in again . Also wierd that three other teams will be promoted into a set of rules that may constrain them and they never had a chance to vote for or against.

I don't understand why the Premier League is any different from being the First Division under a new name and under the general rules of the FA , of whicn many, many clubs are part of, not just the four top professional leagues.

When the Premier League was set up it became a private business divorced from any regulator.
The Prem Lge PLC approached the FA and asked them if they would become the regulating body, to which the FA agreed.
As it stands, it is my belief that the Prem could withdraw from that agreement should they wish to.

I take your point about the issue of promoted/relegated clubs but each current Prem Lge club is a shareholder in the Prem Lge PLC and therefore has the same voting rights of any other member club.

The Championship and Lgs 1 & 2 are members of and are regulated by ther Football League, a seperate company entirely that the Prem broke away from at its founding.

Another point worth mentioning is that football at this level no longer exists. Football lost thre battle between the sport faction and the purely financial faction many years ago.
Football is no longer a sport, it is wholly and entirely a business run by financiers for the benefit of financiers who's sole aim is to maximise profits. Football is just the vehicle being used by them.

What we are seeing and City are a part of; is a battle between major financial interests mostly, who had and are grouped together trying their dammedest to stop another non cartel financial interest becoming too powerful it inhibits the cartel members' interests.

A bit like Tesco, Asda & Morrisons grouping together to stop any further rise of Alsi or Lidle.

As it stands, City are the biggest threat to that cartel and therefore must be stopped domestically and globally. City have become too rich, too powerful an far too successful and the game at all levels is in danger of becoming uncompetitive and the cartel have to stop that at all costs.

I was told many years ago by a very successful businessman that I to stop thinking like a football fan and that thinking like a businessman would help me make sense of it. I did and it did

Wilcox spent almost a decade at City and is credited with progressing the careers of Phil Foden, Rico Lewis and Cole Palmer, among others.

Absolute bullshit

Just done the stadium tour. The guy said every player HAS to answer one question minimum from the press after the game. Even if it’s just “how are you?” If the press report too many players aren’t stopping to answer questions we get fined.

Very weird noncy power trip behaviour
